II. Marketing Plan
Author Note: The Marketing Plan for Adventure Technologies, Inc. focuses on three
of the basic elements presented in our marketing chapter for a smaller business—
Market Analysis (Target Markets and Competition), Sales Strategy, and
Advertising. This marketing plan has a special strength in the target marketing
area in that the company planned its strategy for each of its market segments by
evaluating the target in terms of who they are, what the company will do to
approach the target, when the campaign will take place, and where the campaign
will be positioned. Also, the Target Market Worksheet for Target #1 at the end of
this section is a great tool for analyzing and planning your own target marketing.
It is my suggestion that the marketing plan for your company should address the
components in a way that more closely follows the marketing plan outline in
Chapter 5. However, I think this marketing plan may provide you with an
organized means for developing your strategy for individual market segments.
Target Markets with Sales Strategies
Target #1
Large Corporate Facilities and Condominiums
Who: Corporations that are “outsourcing” the system and server maintenance of their facilities to
outside vendors, and condominium complexes. There are approximately 75 accounts that are
potential customers within a 50 mile radius. Our goal is to secure 5 in 2011.
What: Tele-market for background information, and send a direct mail with telemarketing
follow-up. Describe system engineering, server maintenance, security threat control and all other software development services, such as tree web design and software development. Provide a guarantee for the
services and show competitive comparison pricing from local companies.
When: Begin April to determine the bidding process and RFP schedule to determine the
timing of proposals. Call each account to determine the timing and arrange for an on-site
inspection, to determine the amount of work needed and special needs to develop an estimate.
If possible inquire what the previous years costs were and if the customer was satisfied with
the work of their current system engineering companies.
Where: Position joint services with local computer stores for promotions and advertising.
Target #2
Small Businesses
Who: All small businesses and offices that have networking for several computers that want to save
money, or are unhappy with their present networking company. In the 50 mile radius there are
approximately 125 accounts that are potential customers. Our goal is to add 15 new contracts
in this category in 2010.
What: Tele-market for background information and send a direct mail with telemarketing
follow-up. Describe all the same outsourcing and snow plowing services, referencing existing
satisfied customers. Provide a guarantee for services rendered, show the cost savings using
Adventure Technologies, Inc., and develop a plan for continued snow and system maintenance.
Offer the company’s quality guarantee, and comparison chart of competitive pricing.
When: Begin January to determine when existing contracts expire and provide information on
the company and services. Request an on-site evaluation to determine costs and uncover any
problem areas needing work.
Where: Position joint services with local computers stores for promotions and advertising.
Advertise in the local papers, Yellow Pages and Business to Business Directory.
Target #3

same time for:
a. Additional business - renew contracts for next project

with information on all services offered by Adventure Technologies, Inc. with price comparisons.

Notes:
Adventure Technologiesg, Inc. has taken advantage of a rapidly-increasing marketplace, and has also neatly incorporated snow
removal services to increase revenues significantly during winter months. The company earned an unusually high 2007 net
profit for a start-up service business (TK.111,059). Debt Ratios (Debt:Assets, 30.93% and Debt:Equity, 44.77%) are better
than industry average. A 2008 beginning cash balance of TK.131,178, with no current liabilities other than TK.16,332 of notes
payable on a previous loan, give the company sufficient marketing funds to expand services into the corporate outsourcing
and design areas. The purchase of their present facility, currently under a lease agreement (using TK.100,000 cash + TK.275,000
loan funds) will not raise the Debt to Equity Ratio (projected at 87.55%) beyond a safe limit. Projections indicate high sales
growth with the acquisition of new personnel, vehicles, and equipment to service the increased customer base. The company
is experiencing rapid, but controlled growth. Financial projections indicate that the company will be more than able to fulfill
its obligations to repay the TK.275,000 loan with interest and still maintain good cash flow and increased profitability.
